Cindy Lou Who Costume
Who's so sweet that she can melt the heart of even the Grinch? Why Cindy Lou Who, of course! Though only seen on three pages in the original 1957 book How the Grinch Stole Christmas, two-year-old Cindy Lou stole the heart of grinches everywhere and wormed her way into larger parts with the 1966 cartoon and 2000 live action movie.

Origins of the Grinch
While most people immediately think of How the Grinch Stole Christmas when thinking of the Grinch, the Grinch (or at least one of his Grinchy cousins) appeared in the May 1955 edition of Redbook in a short story entitled The Hoobub and the Grinch*... two and half years before his Christmas misadventures. *Dr. Seuss first uses the word grinch in the 1953 book Scrambled Eggs Super when Peter T. Hooper collects eggs from exotic birds such as the Beagle-Beaked Bald-Headed Grinch.
